When loading this page, the browser hangs. I can break out of it with ^C in the apprunner DOS box and it seems to be loading the page but while it's loading the gfx, it blows up. After some investigation it seems to be something about the complex table structure and possibly the javascript scattered here and there in the page.

Whiteboard: [TESTCASE]
Here's what I found out while making the testcase; It's not hanging, it's just very very very slow. The markup has lots of errors in it so I think it could be the "error correction" algorithm that get lost somehow. The attached testcase is totally unresponsive and taking 100% CPU for about a minute before returning to normal. The testcase looks like this: <TABLE>lots of stuff here...</TABLE> without any <TR> or <TD>. Removing the TABLE tags or inserting TR + TD cures the problem. (Tested with 1999-10-13-13-M11 on Windows NT4 SP5)
